What? He left way before that post by nbz who i cant imagine being categorized as a “captain”.
Also many people have talked negatively on greg.
I dont understand why you post such a long post with nothing truthful in it. It seems to be purposely hurting the forum again.
he indicated it was more than that, but I’m only aware of the nbz post. you seem to be uh, aware of possibly more than that. I’m simply relaying what I was told.
I have no idea what youre talking about. Meb said he’d take his ball and leave if his plan is not fulfilled. He did just that. There was one very inappropriate post by NBZ, who is in no way related to that “group of users” you refer to, that is earned him a 24 hours silence and the post was deleted.
Please, this whole incident happend less than 72 hours ago. Inventing alternative facts already is a terrible look for everyone.
are you trying to assert I’m lying about what he told me, or he is lying about what he told me? 2) is understandable but given your clear propensity to spin complete falsehoods here I’m more than happy to provide receipts (with his permission)
It’s looking strongly like account deletions aren’t happening going forward because it’s a big pain in the ass and breaks threads. Individual posts containing personal information can be deleted and accounts can be anonymized.
well, clearly other than being good friends with an admin, what’s the channel to do a full deletion before this happens?
The content of what youre saying is false. If the blame is on you or someone else seems pretty moot to me.
Writing things with no disclaimers that you personally have no idea if they are true and then adding that disclaimer later is bad practice.
I do have an idea that they are true because I’ve seen you 1) lying in this very thread and 2) have been the target of similar harassment over the last year. he did feel unsafe and he said he left because of that, and you’re trying to say he didn’t, which I corrected.
Reading comprehension FTW IMO.
He explicitly said to you he felt unsafe? That’s kind of surprising considering his posting on the matter but I guess we don’t have to be open with the forum on those matters.
Meb explicitly said that hes leaving because he doesn’t want to be a part of a community that “wants” jal and church. Those are his words. If meb has issue with meb’s posts, he should take it with meb.
You appear to just try and increase drama here. I hope you’d reconsider and just contribute to the various threads you are interested in.
How do you know whether or not meb was threatened via PM?
Because meb already stated the reasons he is leaving. At best you can, with recipts, claim theres an additional reason. Nbz post was handled with quickly. Its a real shame that we have to manufacture this drama.
I think he went too far in anonymizing accounts. Bans can be undone. Those are more difficult. I think he was trying to do good but woefully misread what the reaction would be.
I fully admit to making two posts that would make MEb uncomfortable. I assure you, I was not seeking to advance any victimhood narratives.
Clovis is almost certainly referring to posters who have described goreo undoing customizations in ways such as vandalizing the site. I’ve described this site as meta-political. People being more mad about losing Vince memes than the things that caused goreo to take his ball are similar to Americans not being concerned enough with the potential death of democracy.
Here’s my RFC on deletions if you want to weigh in.
As I understand it, it wasn’t just Vince memes. There were legit operational changes he rolled back to an earlier version, at least one of which Otatop posted about regarding searching/deletions. If it was just Vince memes, I’d agree.
It’s the same as some posters who seemed to be saying they didn’t want to be part of a community that “wants” CaffeineNeeded and left or cut back their posting because they didn’t want to interact with him.
Those people weren’t run off. They left because they were weak.
As far as I know all he did to alter the site was remove his customizations and reset everything to the default settings. The issue I posted about was about deleting his posts which kind of makes it a good example of why deleting accounts and posts is bad for the forum.
The settings I changed were to reset delete user max post age and delete all posts max and max post deletions per day to the defaults
Make it clear that I was unhappy. I’m still not happy and I will absolutely defend goreo reacting the way he chose. As it was, I chose to be less forceful than I originally considered doing.
I’m saying I was never part of some conspiracy to harm the site. I’m a lone wolf poster.
